The bill proposes the enactment of section 4933.30 of the Revised Code, which mandates that utility bills issued to residential customers by gas, natural gas, water works, or electric light companies—whether for profit or not—must include a detailed itemization of various costs. Specifically, the bill requires that bills clearly list the customer's utility distribution costs, generation costs, transmission costs, supply costs, all separate riders and charges, as well as any applicable taxes and governmental fees. Each line item must also specify the amount charged to the customer for the billing period.

This legislation aims to enhance transparency in utility billing, allowing customers to better understand the components of their bills. By requiring a breakdown of costs, the bill seeks to empower consumers with clearer information regarding their utility expenses, potentially leading to more informed decisions about their utility usage and providers.
